The works of L. Onsager, J. Meixner, I. Prigogine on the thermodyn- ics of linear irreversible processes are, in effect, the early efforts toward the desired goal of giving an adequate description of irreversible processes, but their theory is confined to near-equilibrium phenomena. The works in recent years by various research workers on the extension of the aforem- tioned thermodynamic theory of linear irreversible processes are further efforts toward the goal mentioned. The present work is another of such efforts and a contribution to the subject of generalizing the thermodyn- ics of reversible processes, namely, equilibrium thermodynamics, to that of irreversible processes—non-equilibrium thermodynamics, without being restricted to linear irreversible processes. In this context the terms ‘far - moved from equilibrium’ is often used in the literature, and such states of macroscopic sys | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | 关键词 | condensed matter; continuum mechanics; dynamics; flows; shock wave; thermodynamics; waves | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/0-306-48049-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-6090-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-306-48049-2Series ISSN 0168-1222 Series E-ISSN 2365-6425 | issn_series | 0168-1222 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2002 |
